Shehbaz lauds army chief for role in securing IMF deal

LONDON: Praising the role of the army chief and friendly countries, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Saturday said the government would expand Pakistan’s tax net and that the “elite must also make sacrifices”.

The prime minister made these remarks at a press conference held at the Churchill Hotel in London, where he had a stopover after attending the UN General Assembly session in New York.

He added that brotherly countries Saudi Arabia, the UAE and China played a significant role in securing the approval of the $7 billion IMF programme. “This deal would not have been possible without them. I would like to thank them for once again taking Pakistan out of a difficult situation.”

Months ago, Finance Min­ister Muhammad Aurangzeb had made a similar statement, saying that China, Saudi Arabia and the UAE are crucial in helping Pakistan secure its IMF deal due to their potential to extend the maturity in debt owed to them.

PM Shehbaz said that chief of the army staff himself went to a brotherly country to tell them that Pakistan’s IMF time is coming soon, and asked for their support.

He expressed the hope this is the last time Pakistan is going to the IMF. “We need to expand Pakis­tan’s tax network. The elite must also make sacrifices,” said Shehbaz Sharif, adding that General Asim Munir played “a key role” in the approval of the IMF programme.

“Economic stability is not possible without political stability,” said the premier, adding that they are intertwined. “International organisations have acknowledged that Pakistan is now on the path to progress,” he added.

The PM spoke about his visit to New York, saying “By addressing the UN General Assembly, I conveyed the voice of the Pakistani people to the world.”

He noted the meetings he had with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Bangladesh chief adviser Muhammad Yunus, saying they were very positive. He added that efforts were made to strengthen relations with friendly countries.

He lauded the efforts of the caretaker government and the current government to stabilise the economy and political situation, and hit out at the previous PTI government for damaging Pakistan.

“We saved Pakistan from bankruptcy after coming to power,” said PM Shehbaz.

He critcised the PTI and dubbed the May 9 episode “unforgivable” saying those involved in the incident would be forgiven only when they sincerely apologise.

“Their attack on GHQ that day is shameful and an affront to the country’s martyrs. There will be no compromise on May 9. If the perpetrators are sorry they should apologise publicly to the nation.”

He added that the previous government left “no stone unturned in damaging relations with China”.

He also held the previous government responsible for destroying PIA.

To a question on social media curbs, he said, “With people on social media abusing the army and martyrs, we don’t need enemies.”

In New York, PM Shehbaz attended a reception hosted by US President Joe Biden in the honour of the heads of government participating in the UNGA session.

During the reception, President Biden and Prime Minister Shehbaz expressed good wishes for each other.

Later, in a post on X, the premier said, “My brief meeting with US President Joe Biden @POTUS and First Lady Jill Biden during the President’s annual reception at #UNGA79 in New York was most cordial.”

The heads of state of other countries also attended the reception.

Three Mile Island nuclear plant will reopen to power Microsoft data centers

The operator of the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant will reopen the facility to generate electricity for Microsoft Corp. data centers.

Constellation Energy Generation LLC, the largest renewable energy producer in the U.S., announced the initiative today. The company will supply power from Three Mile Island to Microsoft under a newly signed 20-year contract. Before reopening the plant, Constellation will carry out wide-ranging renovations and secure fresh regulatory approvals.

The company plans to supply Microsoft with power from the Three Mile Island plant’s Unit 1 reactor. Unit 2, a reactor housed in an immediately adjacent facility, experienced a partial nuclear meltdown in 1979. The incident was the worst nuclear power plant accident in U.S. history.

The Unit 1 reactor earmarked for Microsoft was not affected by the accident. The system continued operating until 2019, when Constellation retired it “prematurely for economic reasons.” The company’s new 20-year deal with Microsoft will see the facility that houses Unit 1 reopen as the Crane Clean Energy Center.

“This agreement is a major milestone in Microsoft’s efforts to help decarbonize the grid in support of our commitment to become carbon negative,” said Bobby Hollis, Microsoft’s vice president of energy. “Microsoft continues to collaborate with energy providers to develop carbon-free energy sources to help meet the grids’ capacity and reliability needs.”

According to Bloomberg, Constellation will spend $1.6 billion to renovate the Three Mile Island plant. The company plans to upgrade the facility’s cooling and control systems as well as its turbine, generator and main power transformer. The upgrade will be followed by a safety and environmental review.

Before it reopens, the Crane Clean Energy Center will have to be approved by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Constellation will also require permits from state and local agencies. The reopening is expected to be supported by tax credits and other federal subsidies from the Inflation Reduction Act.

Constellation plans to bring the plant online in 2028. The facility is expected to generate 835,000 megawatts of electricity, which is enough to power more than 800,000 homes. Constellation hopes to operate it through at least 2054.

The plant will help Microsoft meet the growing power requirements of its cloud data centers. The facilities’ rising electricity usage is driven in part by the large number of graphics processing units that they host. Microsoft reportedly hopes to deploy 1.4 million GPUs in its data center network by year’s end.

It’s estimated that Nvidia Corp.’s H100 graphics card, which was its flagship data center chip until last year, consumes more than 3,700 kilowatt-hours of electricity per year. That’s equivalent to a low double-digit percentage of a typical home’s annual power usage. The successor to the H100, the Blackwell B200, consumes even more power.

Alongside Nvidia chips, Microsoft is deploying internally designed artificial intelligence chips in its data centers. The company uses liquid cooling technology to dissipate the heat generated by those processors. Microsoft has developed custom cooling systems, dubbed sidekicks by its engineers, that can attach directly to a server rack and circulate cold liquid through the hardware inside.

India condemns Iran supreme leader's comments on treatment of minorities

NEW DELHI, Sept 17 (Reuters) - India has condemned comments made by Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on the treatment of Muslims in the South Asian nation, calling his remarks "misinformed and unacceptable".
"We cannot consider ourselves to be Muslims if we are oblivious to the suffering that a Muslim is enduring in Myanmar, Gaza, India, or any other place," Khamenei said in a social media post on Monday.
In response, India's foreign ministry said it "strongly deplored" the comments.

"Countries commenting on minorities are advised to look at their own record before making any observations about others," the foreign ministry spokesperson said.
The two countries have typically shared a strong relationship, and signed a 10-year contract in May to develop and operate the Iranian port of Chabahar.
India has been developing the port in Chabahar on Iran's south-eastern coast along the Gulf of Oman as a way to transport goods to Iran, Afghanistan and central Asian countries, bypassing the ports of Karachi and Gwadar in its rival Pakistan.

Wife Appreciation Day:

celebrated on the third Sunday of September (September 15), gives those of us (men, women, trans, fluid, etc.) who are lucky enough to have wives an extra chance to show them how much they mean to us. Our wives keep us grounded and centered. They inspire us to work hard, play hard, and to always have something to bring to the table to show that we’re improving ourselves. Wives ask us to take out the trash and empty the dishwasher and change the oil (stereotypical but true), which is good with us because those things need to get done anyway, and we like the idea of our ladies having that extra fifteen minutes or half-hour to just be in their space. Celebrate this day with a beautiful date with your wife, Check out the 50 dates ideas.

History of Wife Appreciation Day
The historical research on Wife Appreciation Day is scant indeed, but 2006 is accepted as the first year the holiday officially “went on the books.” That is, it isn’t yet recognized as a U.S. government holiday, but rather, in 2006 it became widely acknowledged and celebrated by couples country and worldwide.

We don’t know what specifically about 2006 caused the “spark that lit the fire.” However, that happened to be the year former Beatle Paul McCartney separated from his wife Heather Mills, a fact that may be notable because the legal rift was opened between them only three days after Mother’s Day that spring. Could the songsmith have bungled his wife’s expectations as a mom so badly that she wanted to live apart, only 72 hours after whatever blow-up happened? And if so, could McCartney have used his juggernaut-like influence in pop culture to help engineer a second chance that same fall, by getting the right eyes on the right proposals for a Wife Appreciation Day?

Well, even if our theoretical rationale is correct, the holiday has ironically turned out to be a gift to everyone but McCartney and Mills, as the couple’s divorce was finalized in 2008. We see it all as a cautionary tale: never miss an opportunity to be demonstrative with your affections, to your whole family, yes, but on Wife Appreciation Day, to her, your one-and-only.

Arvind Kejriwal to resign as Delhi CM in two days

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convener Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday (September 15, 2024) said that he will resign as Delhi Chief Minister in two days after the party selects a new person from the party as CM.Announcing his resignation during his address to the party workers at the AAP headquarters, he said that he would demand an early poll in Delhi and vowed not to sit in CM’s chair till people give him a “certificate of honesty”.

“Delhi elections are due in February, but I demand elections in the national capital be held in November with Maharashtra,” Mr. Kejriwal said.

“With the blessings of the people, we have the strength to counter all the conspiracies of the BJP. Today, we have been able to do so much for Delhi because we are honest,” Mr. Kejriwal said.

CM Kejriwal asserts to sit on Chief Minister’s chair only after people give him “certificate of honesty” and continued to say he wants to give “agnipariksha” after coming out of jail.

“Today, they are afraid of our honesty because they are not honest. I did not become a part of this game of ‘power from money and money from power’. I got justice from the court of law, now, the court of the people will give me justice. Now, I will sit on the chair of Chief Minister again only after the decision of the people of Delhi,” Mr. Kejriwal said.

Referring to letters written by Bhagat Singh in British captivity, Mr. Kejriwal said, “Our freedom fighters allowed meetings with colleagues; but my party colleague Sandeep Pathak was not allowed to meet me. I wrote only one letter to L-G (Lieutenant Governor) from Tihar.”

Mr. Kejriwal expressed hope for Satyendar Jain and Amanatullah Khan, who are still in jail, to be released soon.

China raises retirement age for first time since 1950s

China will "gradually raise" its retirement age for the first time since the 1950s, as the country confronts an ageing population and a dwindling pension budget.

The top legislative body on Friday approved proposals to raise the statutory retirement age from 50 to 55 for women in blue-collar jobs, and from 55 to 58 for females in white-collar jobs.

Men will see an increase from 60 to 63.

China's current retirement ages are among the lowest in the world.

Pak Inflation Rate

The Consumer Price Index (CPI), which measures main inflation, dropped to 9.6pc in August from 11.1 per cent in July, creating an opportunity for the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) to lower interest rates, in line with the demands of economic stakeholders.

“I expect a 150 bps reduction in the upcoming monetary policy, as real interest rates currently stand at 9.9pc,” said Samiullah Tariq, head of the research and development at Pakistan Kuwait Investment Company (Pvt) Limited.

During the previous monetary policy meeting held on July 29, the SBP reduced the interest rate by 100 bps to 19.5pc. However, many in the trade and industrial sectors expressed that this rate is still insufficient to stimulate the economy. These sectors are advocating for a reduction to around 14pc, citing the high interest rates as a major hindrance to private sector borrowing due to the prohibitive costs.

Experts anticipate up to 200bps reduction in next monetary policy meeting set for 12th

Mr Tariq noted that the secondary market yields on three-month treasury bills are around 18pc, which is 1.5 percentage points below the current policy rate. “This shows that the market is expecting a minimum rate cut of about 1.5 percentage points,” he said.

Mohammad Sohail, CEO of Topline Research, was even more optimistic, predicting a potential rate cut of up to 200 bps in the next monetary policy.

“Based on current inflationary trends, we expect a 100 to 200 bps cut in the policy rate,” he said, adding that the upcoming T-bills auction would provide further insights into market expectations for the scale of the cut.

However, Mr Sohail cautioned that maintaining this trend of low inflation would require a long-term agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), strengthening foreign exchange reserves and maintaining fiscal discipline.

Pakistan is in discussions for a 37-month loan agreement with the IMF worth $7 billion, but the government has struggled to boost foreign exchange reserves ahead of finalising the deal.

Researchers also pointed out that geopolitical tensions, such as the conflict in Palestine, the war in Ukraine, and rising tensions with Iran, could lead to higher oil prices, potentially increasing inflationary pressures due to the higher cost of petroleum products.

Tahir Abbas, head of research at Arif Habib Limited, suggested that the SBP might take a cautious approach in the next monetary policy.

“We believe the SBP will cut interest rates by 150 bps in the upcoming monetary policy scheduled for Sept 12,” Mr Abbas said.

Despite the real interest rates now being significantly positive, “the SBP is expected to opt for a cautious approach towards monetary easing”, he added.

Independent economists warn that a cautious approach may not be sufficient to boost economic growth. The GDP growth is expected to remain between 2.5pc and 3.5pc, which is unlikely to create enough jobs for the hundreds of thousands of young Pakistanis currently seeking opportunities abroad.

Beating the Heat in Pakistan

As heat waves become more intense due to climate change, people in cities all over the world are facing more challenging summer conditions. Among them is Lahore, a city in northern Pakistan where only about ten percent of the population has access to air conditioning, and decades of rapid urbanization have strengthened the urban heat island effect. However, integrating green spaces into the city can help offset warming, as satellite data make clear.

Situated in northeastern Pakistan along the Ravi River, Lahore is one of the fastest-growing cities in the world. Home to 3 million people in 1984, its population has soared to more than 14 million in 2024, according to United Nations data. The size of the city’s footprint on the landscape has ballooned as well, with observations from Landsat satellites indicating that built-up areas have replaced more than 200 square kilometers (77 square miles) of farmland and other green space around the city since the 1980s.

The OLI (Operational Land Imager) on Landsat 8 captured the image above (left) on May 16, 2024. Built-up areas appear gray; farmland and other open space appear green. The city includes several parks, urban forests, golf courses, athletic fields, botanical gardens, and graveyards with green vegetation.

The other image (right) shows nighttime land surface temperatures (LSTs) observed by NASA’s ECOSTRESS (Ecosystem Spaceborne Thermal Radiometer Experiment on Space Station) on May 8, 2024, at 9:13 p.m. It shows the region during a severe and persistent early summer heat wave that, at times, elevated daytime air temperatures above 45 degrees Celsius (113 degrees Fahrenheit), with heat indices that, incorporating humidity, made it feel more like 49°C (120°F). ECOSTRESS uses a scanning radiometer to measure thermal infrared energy emitted from Earth’s surface. Note that the sensor measures land surface temperatures, not air temperatures.

In the broader ECOSTRESS map below, green spaces such as wooded areas, grassy areas, parks, and farm fields were significantly cooler (blue and yellow) than densely developed areas. Vegetation and bodies of water do not absorb and re-emit heat as easily as common building materials such as concrete, asphalt, and steel. This can lead to differences of several degrees between developed urban areas and rural outlying areas—the urban heat island effect.

Fourth case of mpox virus confirmed in KP: health official

Earlier this month, the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared the recent outbreak of the disease as a public health emergency of international concern after the new variant of the virus, Clade 1b, was identified.

The Clade 1b variant has triggered global concern due to the ease with which it spreads through routine close contact.

However, the mpox outbreak is not another Covid-19, the WHO has said, because much is already known about the virus and the means to control it.

“The medical team at Peshawar Airport transferred the patient to the Police and Services Hospital (PSH) after they showed symptoms during the screening,” Roghani said.

“The rapid response team took samples from the patient’s wound in the hospital and sent it to the laboratory”.

Deep Purple payload successfully deployed and operational

The collection of stars is of the open star cluster Messier 7 (M7) located in the constellation of Scorpius. A telescope that can perform simultaneous ultraviolet (UV) and shortwave infrared astronomy is exceptionally rare (the Hubble is an example) and unprecedented for a small satellite. Astronomy in Deep Purple’s UV channel covering 250-310 nanometers is only possible from space because Earth’s protective ozone layer in the atmosphere absorbs all light in this spectrum.

Neuroanatomy, Prefrontal Cortex

Why are we capable of doing things that are difficult, of making choices to go the hard route or the extra mile? Much of this ability can be attributed to the bulk of the frontal cortex in an area known as the prefrontal cortex (PFC). One of the last places in the brain to mature, the prefrontal cortex is thought of as the “personality center” and is the cortical region that makes us uniquely human. It is where we process moment-to-moment input from our surroundings, compare that input to past experiences, and then react to them. It is where we manifest our insight, foresight, and planning capabilities into the actions that define who we are. Lesions in this area produce a number of neuropsychiatric disorders that tend to present with disinhibition, apathy, loss of initiative, and personality changes. Discoveries are still being made about the role the PFC plays within our lives and how various dysfunctions alter its function.

College football Week 1 preview: Notre Dame-A&M, Clemson-Georgia

It has been nearly eight months since Michigan's national title coronation. Nick Saban has retired, and Jim Harbaugh has left for the NFL (again). Fifteen FBS teams have taken on at least 20 transfers. The Pac-12 is essentially gone. The Big Ten, Big 12 and ACC have expanded to the west. The SEC has incorporated the Red River Rivalry. We've got an actual, honest-to-god tournament to look forward to in a few months.

Rarely has so much of college football's fabric changed in a single offseason. And yet, the Week 1 family reunion will likely feel as good as ever. You can smell it in the air. From Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium (Georgia vs. Clemson) to Milan Puskar Stadium (Penn State at West Virginia) to Paulson Stadium (Boise State at Georgia Southern) to Washington-Grizzly Stadium (Missouri State at Montana) and everywhere in between, college football feels as college football as ever. More than 60% of Week 1's games are FBS-versus-FCS affairs, we've got only three ranked-versus-ranked games to look forward to, and in this moment it doesn't matter. This weekend, we feast.

We've already seen a Hail Mary miracle coming up 4 yards short (Colorado-NDSU) and accidental fireworks after a missed game-winning field goal (North Carolina-Minnesota). Now it's time to turn on the fire hose. Here's everything you need to know to get ready for Week 1 of the 2024 season. (All times are Eastern.)
